Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Twenty-five at the time of this CD, James Carter had already absorbed much of the tradition... He also shows that he has the courage to play completely outside whenever it seems logical to him... James Carter puts on quite a tour-de-force throughout this very impressive set".^[2]
